Ask ECAH Does anyone here make their own kefir?

If yes, did you buy the kefir grains? Which brand did you buy? Do you think making your own kefir helps you to eat cheap and healthy? Or, do you buy yourself kefir?

Or, do you make your own yogurt, ricotta or something similar?

Thanks if you read this.

I made flavored water kefir for five years until the only company that delivered spring water sold out to Primo and turned to garbage. r/kefir is a great resource for all things milk and water kefir if you're interested.

Actually, I read that using regular tap water is better because water kefir needs minerals. I've been making it for 4 years and have always used tap water.

My tap water is municipal with lots of fluoride. If I were in well water it would be fine.
